\"anirbanlahiri-golf\"Petaling Jaya, Selangor: India’s Anirban Lahiri carded three-under-68 to finish second behind Thailand’s Pariya Junhasavasdikul who holed a pressure-packed five-foot par putt at the last hole to win the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters by one stroke on Sunday.
The 29-year-old Thai completed a wire-to-wire triumph following a one-under-par 70 at the Seri Selangor Golf Club to edge India\u2019s Anirban Lahiri, who challenged with a 68 in the RM1.2 million (approximately US$400,000) Asian Tour event.<\/p>\n

Korea\u2019s Baek Seuk-hyun, who held the lead up till the 15th hole, settled for third place after dropping a double bogey and bogey on 16 and 17 to finish alongside another Thai, Namchok Tantipokhakul, who stormed up the leaderboard with a 65.\n<\/p>\n

Chinese Taipei veteran Lu Wen-teh took fifth place while there was plenty of admiration for 19-year-old Malaysian amateur Gavin Green, who tied for the lead on the front nine, as he settled for a share of sixth place after a 73 which included a one-stroke penalty which he called on himself when his ball moved on the 11th green.<\/p>\n

Pariya, who pocketed US$68,954 for his second Asian Tour victory, raised his fist in delight after he coolly got up and down at the closing hole to grab victory following a day of high drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still shaking right now. I can\u2019t describe the feeling. Like in Taipei (when he won the Mercuries Taiwan Masters in 2010), it just hit me when I was in the car heading to the airport. Walking down the last three holes, there was tremendous pressure,\u201d said Pariya, who ended the week on nine-under-par 275.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Baek, who is Pariya\u2019s regular practice partner and roommate, was striding towards his first Asian Tour title but the 16th hole, which he triple bogeyed on Saturday, got to him again as he lost his ball with a poor drive for a double bogey six which gave Pariya the lead.<\/p>\n

With Lahiri in the clubhouse on eight under after producing some sublime golf, Pariya was forced to get up and down for par on the last hole but he calmly rolled in his winning putt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think about it (the last putt) too much. I saw Baek\u2019s line was left to right, and Gavin had putted before me and they showed me the line which was half a ball outside the edge. It was a downhill putt and all I had to do was to put a good stroke in. Luckily, I didn\u2019t feel any pressure then. I kept to the routine and got it over with,\u201d said Pariya.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody can tell you how much pressure it is to lead by one shot from the first round up till the last. Last night, when I was in bed, I couldn\u2019t sleep. I started thinking what would happen if I won. And then it hits me that I\u2019ve not won it yet. I reminded myself that I still had to play 18 holes and it took the pressure off a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lahiri, who was chasing his fourth Asian Tour win and his first outside of India, gave himself a good chance by getting to four under through 14 holes. A three-putt bogey on 15 proved costly before he agonizingly missed a good birdie chance on 18 from about 15 feet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess I have to wait a little longer for that win outside of India,\u201d smiled Lahiri, who won the SAIL-SBI Open in India earlier this season. \u201cI\u2019m really happy with the way I played. On 18, I was not 100 per cent sure on the line. I thought it was pretty much straight, a double breaker. When I hit it, I thought I holed it. Maybe it ran out of speed and died left. These things are meant to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood for Pariya, I\u2019m happy that he\u2019s won. He\u2019s been struggling over the last couple of years. He\u2019s a good friend and frankly, if I wanted someone to win it apart from myself, it would be him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baek was disappointed he failed to close the deal, conceding the pressure of leading got to him. \u201cI got tired and felt under pressure since number 15. I couldn\u2019t hit my ball properly,\u201d said the Thai-based Baek, who gave Pariya a big hug after the latter holed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was leading by one and I don\u2019t know how I shanked my ball (on the 16th hole). I made double and it was still alright. But on 17, I just couldn\u2019t hit the ball because my legs were shaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s top amateur Green earned plaudits for calling a penalty on himself after finishing five shots behind the champion. \u201cNobody saw it but I saw it myself. It was a penalty. There was no hesitation,\u201d said Green, who finished as the top Malaysian in the field on 280.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther than that, I played solid. I\u2019m not pissed. It\u2019s a good experience. I\u2019ve got to practice more, especially on the short game. But I\u2019m getting close to them (the pros).\u201d<\/p>\n
